Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX: 'I Love It' - Single review

In a world of instant worldwide releases and viral hits, it's surprising to come across a bona fide anthem that's had nine months to steadily gain attention. Icona Pop's bound-around chantathon 'I Love It' is one such example, slowly achieving chart placings across the globe last year. Following high-profile outings on HBO's Girls and a Dr Pepper advert in the US, it seems the time has come for the track to fully crack the international sphere.

It's about time too, considering the remainder of the continent have been enjoying it since last May. "You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way/ You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space," the duo note over a perky beat, before they vault into a hectic and shouty chorus packed with more energy than a six pack of Red Bull. It may have taken its time to get here, but it was totally worth the wait.
